Meteor

Meteor Inc. (ミーティア) is a intergalactic conglomerate with great influence. Officially, Meteor is neutrally aligned. It is the parent company of a series of companies. The company is based on Tekistar.

Description
Originally, Meteor was a side branch of the Zodiac Corporation until becoming independant in SC0050. It used to focus onto the development of the Kirara Drive, roboters, weapons and drones, but the focus has slightly shifted to information technology and space crafts. It runs large scale research programmes in terms of Dualium and the Kirara Drive.

Officially, Meteor is neutral and provides AEPS and DES forces with resources, giving them a great influence in both spaces.

Meteor is one of the biggest lobbyism forces on Tekistar. Almost all of the major positions in the company are hold by a member of the Kashita family.

History
Meteor was originally the name of a group of factories on Tekistar that produces Kirara Drives; back then for the DES only as branch of Zodiac. In SC0048, a member of the Kashita family gained the highest position in the factories and, despite the events during those years, kept them running.

In SC0050, Tekistar's grab between the rich and poor had grown extremly large. This lead to a coup d'état by the poor against several political parties and the companies that supported them. Meteor - then still a part of Zodiac - supported the revolutionaries instead of the leaders of that time; a dangerous step that prove to be worth its risk. The coup d'état was successful but the revolutionaries; mainly uneducated people were faced with the challenge to govern a whole planet. Meteor, having cut all its ties to Zodiac by then, stepped up and offered their "support" by creating the now ruling party after the planet was almost run into ruin by them. With Meteor pulling the strings behind the politics, Tekistar and Meteor became what they are today.
